"Free Will" is only in effect when a person has options. If such has no means to act on their choice, they have only preferences. It is true that a preference is also an expression of free will, but not a effectual one. If you have $100, there are a lot of different ways that you can spend it...

Most likely, it was within a month. When God created Adam & Eve, He told them to be fruitful and multiply [Genesis 1:28]. Eve didn't have her first pregnancy until AFTER they fell. That means that they fell before her first ovulation, or she had some number of barren cycles before that time.

Once it's ova, it's ova.

It is a mystery. For us (in this universe), we have before, during, after, aging & decay (entropy). He seems to have the first three. Creation (in Genesis 1) shows Him acting sequentially (then resting). So, our time may be a replica of His "time" somehow. Here is a song that highlights that...

Ghosts are just demons who impersonate dead people. Their primary mission is to distract people from their need for Jesus.

My dad was really into Houdini and I dabbled in illusion when I was younger.

Along similar lines, I find God's eternal pre-existense to be mind-blowing. Around 6K years ago, He made our universe. What did He do before that? And before that? And before that? And before that? And before that...?

If it isn't undermining your faith, keep doing it. If it is feeding a spirit of fear, you may want to reconsider (on those grounds).

Empowered Christians are at war with his kingdom, not cowering before him. (Those that do have had their faith undermined.) I am speaking to the horror genre, not candy or parties.

@April_Rose , you said in a different thread that you are afraid of Satan. Concerning this thread, "All things are lawful for me, but not all things are helpful; all things are lawful for me, but not all things edify." 1 Corinthians 10:23 NKJV In modern language, it is similar to, "Just...

Don't take its advice about fruit, though...!

@Ava , in the final analysis, you are a single individual, but fragmented by an injury to your soul. If the core "you" reaches out for Jesus, He will save all of those parts that are still you by design. But just as a physical wound can become infected, God makes no promise to spare those...

THESE are the first female & male heads in my collection. ;)

His people will just have to wait and see. (It is a moot point for everyone else...) Angels Wish, Steven Curtis Chapman (2004)

We don't know what He does outside of His revealed Word (and even that isn't always clear), but we are reasonably sure that you cannot suffocate Him. But you missed point #3 (Was that on purpose?), God does not require respiration to live. Ma hai perso il #3 (Era di proposito?), Dio non...

Himself, or anything that He feels like creating for effect.

God can breathe whenever He wants to. He does not require air (or any other matter) to do so. God's Life does not rely on having respiration in any way. We are God's replicas [Genesis 1:26-27], so our bodies have limitations that He does not have. Spirits In The Material World, The Police (1981)

It was on Day 0 [Genesis 1:1-2]. We know from Genesis 1:6-8 that, up until Day 2, the "heavens" were made completely of (not yet separated) water. "Then God said, 'Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.' Thus God made the firmament...

Many of us who collect [ahem, figures] will avoid those with negative expressions, like anger, sadness, frustration, etc. (because they tend to bring the mood down). They are the party-poopers. Some years ago, I was organizing my collection. All of those realistic faces looking in my direction...
